With Global Challenge, Confindustria and Federmanager promote a development program for participating executives aimed at strengthening the skills of a conscious, prepared, and motivated management class. These executives should be capable of being both business leaders and leaders at the local, national, and European levels.

This comprehensive development program focuses on enhancing personal and professional knowledge and skills to:

1. Provide essential tools for understanding and managing complex current scenarios.
2. Support management in the necessary processes of innovation and reorganization of the companies they work for.
3. Enhance the personal and professional skills of the participating executives.

The program includes three types of training interventions:

1. Learning Tours: Learning tours provide participants with an intensive and significant learning experience.

The chosen destinations are particularly relevant in the current international cultural and economic context, and the programs include meetings with institutions and companies, visits to various economic, social, and organizational realities that present effective experiences, models, and projects.
